[mod_python] FW: Mod_Python

Hi Jim,
Thanks for getting back to me so promptly.  The problem is that when I try
to test mptest.py there is no identification of mod apache.  I know that I'm
close to solving this problem.  However, there is something that I'm
missing.

According to your httpd error.log, mod_python is loading properly.

I'll bet this is from a command line interpreter, right? You can't run
mod_python from the command line, only from within the apache httpd server.

Is .htaccess even being read? Make sure you have something like the
following in your httpd.conf:

<Directory /some/directory/htdocs/test>
    AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

You could also stick:

AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On

in there as well, but while you're experimenting it's likely easier to put
these directives in your .htaccess file.
